24 Hours Appointment Call back

This is a new courtesy service we are offering to our patients to help in booking, cancelling or moving an appointment. If you are busy during the day and find it easy to overlook calling us why not give this simple service a go. Fill in the form, send the request and we will call you back to organise your appointment.

How does it work?

Call 028 2565 6703 during office hours, you may find it more satisfactory to speak to us in person. Outside of office hours or if we are engaged when you call, simply fill in the form on the right, with the patients name and a contact telephone number. If there are multiple appointments, for example for you and the kids use your own name. Select whether you are making a new appointment, cancelling or moving a current appointment, and then click the blue button to send your request. If an appointment need is urgent [if you are in pain] please let us know by checking the "It's Urgent" box and your request will be given top priority. That's all you have to do!

We will then get in touch with you as soon as we possibly can. The emails will be checked every hour during the day, and requests made outside office hours will be handled before 11am the following morning.

A friendly reminder

As we have to be considerate to all our patients and booking slots can be difficult to obtain please bear in mind that if you email us to cancel or rearrange an appointment with less than 24 hours notice our normal conditions apply and a cancellation fee will still be charged.

What our patients say

“Laura Jones and all her team are fantastic at looking after my whole family. The way in which they especially look after my 3 children all under 8 years of age is amazing. The Funday is a great idea and the kids really get a kick out of it. Anyone who looks after my family the way Laura and her team do certainly gets my vote!”

Dr Philip McCartney PhD, Ballymena

The Practice

Most important of all is the time and care Laura Jones Dental offers to the whole family.

We support both Private and Health Service patients although with the increase in private treatments we offer a membership plan to help pay for routine maintence. Alternatively the 'pay as you go option' for private treatments is still available.

Laura Jones provide many services which you can check out, however we pride ourselves in that we have encouraged modernisation and development whilst at the same time managing to retain the care that we have always had for all our patients.

Our Professional, well trained and experienced team has extended our services to that of support and consultancy in other areas such as, Hygiene for thorough cleaning, Acupuncture to alleviate pain and also the skills of the Therapist who cares for the children.

Whilst our staff bring many skills there are certain areas which each member has dedicated themselves too, bringing that added strength to the team.

We have recently been awarded both BDA Good Practice and Investors in People.
